Eh, if you're unemployed, the one thing you have is time (certainly enough time to post on forums on the internet...).
If you feel your system is corrupt, stop complaining and do something about it! Didn't you see the Arab Spring? Egyptians faced down TANKS, you think you can't face down a whole load of corporate advertising? And if anything, those same Egyptians were faaar worse off then any of you!
You have to understand that Politicians are AFRAID of all of us. They know that they can lose their jobs on our whims. That's why they resort to all those stupid tactics. If you're really so dissatisfied, and want to put out a protest vote, vote for a 3rd party! 3rd party candidates have won before! Get your similiarly dissaffected friends to vote for the same 3rd party candidate! And get their friends to do it too! Now maybe doing so in the presidential election is pointless, but there's congress, Senate, and state elections where your vote WILL make a difference. If one district manages to elect a 3rd party representative, then that will show people all across the US that they can do it too!
It just takes some guts and ACTION. Voting in the election won't take you more then 5 minutes. If you really want to get involved and campaign, then that you can do as much or as little as you like.
Every year political status quos get overthrown, it just takes a bit of can do spirit! And isn't that what America is all about?
